Minted Denver, CO.
MoreA "D" on any coin minted since 1906 means it was minted in Denver, Colorado.Other mint marks you may see are:
"P": Philadelphia (but current Philadelphia pennies, and Philadelphia coins before 1980 except wartime nickels, don't have mint marks, so it gets confusing)
"S": San Francisco (on older coins and modern proof sets)
Coins minted over 100 years ago may also have an "O" for New Orleans, "CC" for Carson City, and very old gold coins may have a D or C on them but you won't find any of them in change!

No such thing, you probably mean Liberty Half Dollar. The Jefferson nickel was in place at the time of 1945. Depending on the condition of the Half dollar it would be $5-$8 depending on the average condition.

It is the mintmark for the San Francisco Mint. You may also find a D for Denver or a P for Philadelphia. During WWII the nickel's composition was changed because nickel metal was needed for the war effort. To indicate the change, the Mint made the mint mark larger and moved it from the then-standard position at the right of Monticello. In addition, the letter "P" was used for Philadelphia coins for the first time.
A 1939 Jefferson Nickel in rough condition is worth $0.50 and in perfect condition can be up to $5.50.
